->''"You're gonna die. A lot."''

One woman.

One name. (Well, two...)

One hundred fifty gigabytes of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Two terabytes of Christmas Music.

Many innocent strawberries...

Felicia Mirabel Pullara, formerly known as "[=LordKaT=]", is a citizen of New York City who has been online forever. It is believed that she is one of the four Internet gods.

She is the creator and owner of [[http://www.lordkat.com/ LordKaT.com]], hosting content produced since her days of making videos for Website/ChannelAwesome (even before joining the crew). Her primary contribution to the site was [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqY_tpAoYYdt5_iJlTWHpI5OjH7S2X_mi Until We Win]], where she gave tips on how to beat legendarily difficult video games like ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' without cheating. In early 2011 Felicia ended UWW and announced that she was leaving TGWTG, both for the same reasons (to work full time with her [=JustinTV=] livestream and because scripting and filming were always her least favorite parts of the creative process). She later revived UWW on her [=YouTube=] channel with a dedicated editor for the series.

Felicia used to live-cast on a stream called "[[http://www.lordkat.com/live/ [=LordKaT=] Live!]]" This livestream brought together numerous personalities from TGWTG, along with some of her best friends both from inside and outside the IRC chat. As she's gained new viewership via promotions such as the stream, so as she did for the others who visited the stream; several more stream hosters popped up as a response to this, including [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis JewWario]], WebVideo/SeanFausz, WebVideo/JesuOtaku, and WebVideo/ObscurusLupa. Especially popular were the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' sessions: WebVideo/SpoonysCampaign was played on the stream, as is one with [[WebVideo/WyrmwickCampaign Lordkat]] as DM. In addition, the Eriadne Campaign has joined the stream, with [=AionoftheBlades=] as DM.

As of 2019, [=LordKat=] is no longer broadcasting, and much of her stream-related content has been removed from the internet. She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrKidCXwAuM came out as transgender]] in late 2023.

'''Some of the shows on [=LordKat=]'s livestream have included:'''
* ''This Week In Games'' and ''Indie Game of the Week'': Recorded every Saturday, Felicia and Skitch (and recurring guest WebVideo/MarzGurl) discuss current events in the gaming world and nominate a pick for Indie Game of the Week (which used to be a feature of [=TWiG=] before being budded off into its own show).
* ''Turducken is Tasty'': Recorded every Wednesday, Felicia, WebVideo/RolloT, Shane Phallam, and WebVideo/YRulerOfTime Freeman discuss the NFL, both games and current events, usually discussing last week's games and trying to predict the outcome of next week's. It went on hiatus due to the NFL lockout but has since come back, and Felicia has expressed interest in making it a regular show by expanding the focus to other sports.
* ''WebVideo/WyrmwickCampaign'': Played (almost) every weekend, this is Felicia's ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' game. Between the colorful personalities of the players and Felicia's own [[IndyPloy improvisational]] [[DungeonMaster DM]] style, HilarityEnsues. For several weeks, Felicia and the players hosted ''That Tabletop Show'' where they recap past events, answer questions from viewers, and more, until it was decided there was insufficient content to maintain a weekly show and it was placed on hiatus. The campaign was dropped after difficulties maintaining the schedule and player conflicts.
* ''Eriadne Campaign'': Played every Wednesday, this a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign run by [=AionoftheBlades=] and featuring one of Felicia's friends, [=SonikGav=]. Originally hosted on a different streaming site, it was moved to [=LordKat=]'s stream after running into technical issues. Since then, Felicia herself has joined (and subsequently departed) the campaign as a Shade Executioner named Blackwood. While events in Eriadne are not discussed in That Tabletop Show, [=AionoftheBlades=] does weekly text-based recaps of sessions to keep viewers informed and up to speed. The campaign was dropped due to scheduling issues.
* ''Tuesday Tech Talk'': Recorded every Tuesday at 7:00 PM EST, Felicia and [[WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou Nash]] discuss non-video game technology, both software and hardware. Nash departed the show over an unspecified issue[[note]]Later clarified to be Felicia badmouthing Channel Awesome constantly on her other streams, while Nash was still a member of the site[[/note]], and the show was retitled ''Bytes of Madness'' in 2013, with LK, Derresh, Harith, and Maluku (Returning from TTT/HTDI).
* ''How To Do It'': A self-help tech show hosted by Felicia and Nash, also recorded on Tuesdays. The show focuses on helping people solve technical issues ranging from hardware problems to finding the best equipment money can buy. When Nash left ''Tuesday Tech Talk'', ''How To Do It'' was ended as well.
* ''Conduct Unbecoming'': A military podcast with Creator/CriticalMarine and Creator/ChaosD1. The show has since ended.
* ''Podcast/WeeklyMangaRecap'': A manga podcast starring WebVideo/RolloT and WebVideo/YRulerOfTime, and occasionally featuring a guest commentator. Y and Rollo took the show elsewhere in 2012.
* ''Until We Win Live!'': [=LordKat=] resurrected the series as a weekly competition. Every Friday afternoon, Felicia plays a difficult game without using cheats or save-states, trying to reach the end or get the highest score. Members of the site are then challenged to play the game and record their progress. Felicia discontinued the revived 'UWW Live' when it again proved to be something she did not enjoy. [=LordKat=] revived UWW as a feature in April 2014, following renewed fan-interest.
* ''WAT'': Hosted by Felicia and co-hosted by chat regular Final_Freek, this late-night series showcases the most bizarre, obscure, and deranged internet videos from around the world. Was recorded every Friday at Midnight, but in early June Felicia killed the show after getting frustrated by constant comparisons to ''Tosh.0'', Sean Fausz's "Epic Fail", and [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]]'s short-lived "Experience Bij" as well as unspecified 'legal issues' which required taking the show to a pre-recorded format before being cancelled altogether. ''WAT'' has since evolved into ''The Sekrit Project'', a movie-riffing show in the Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 vein. WAT was revived in February 2014, with rotating co-hosts.
* ''Gettin' Hungry'': Felicia and Chef Sato discuss food, beer, cooking, and experiments between the two of them. Airs irregularly depending on availability.

----
!![=LordKaT=] provides examples of:

* AbortedArc: Felicia set up a ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' challenge between the [=LordKat=] Mafia and Creator/TeamFourStar, but TFS kept having to reschedule and eventually just said they couldn't make time for it.
* {{Angrish}}: Her reaction to the [[NoEnding "ending"]] of ''VideoGame/ChakanTheForeverMan''.
** Playing ''VideoGame/CliveBarkersJericho''.
** ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2''. It doesn't matter what mode, campaign or mutation it is, angrish will flow from Felicia's mouth at some point.
* AnticlimaxBoss:[[invoked]] A particular pet peeve of Lordkat's, seen in ''VideoGame/{{Strider}}'' for example.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor[=/=]ExactWords: Apparently, Lordkat has received complaints from both Twitch TV streamers and admins for running non-video game content on her stream. In response, she's started running ''VideoGame/ProgressQuest'' any time she's away from her computer (such as when she's asleep or getting food).
* BerserkButton:
** Her neighbors. More than once Felicia blew several gaskets over their behaviour...
** The neighborhood ice cream truck. It had a habit of interrupting Felicia's D&D sessions by blaring its music outside her window (and in fact can be heard in the background of many recordings). This became a running joke during the WebVideo/WyrmwickCampaign, such that the truck even made it into some of the campaign's fan art.
** '''NEVER, EVER''' gift Felicia guest passes on Steam. She will never play them because 95% of the time the passes are to games [=LordKat=] does not like and Felicia honestly believes that you are wasting your money on the passes. A Steam user by the name of Major Fracture gifted Felicia the same game (''VideoGame/CounterStrike: Source'', a game Felicia does not like at all) multiple times in a week, forcing her to erase her Steam friends list in absolute rage.
** Unless it's related to the fan community and/or you have Felicia's explicit permission, don't even ''think'' of "e-begging" (asking for money) on her stream; even when done after hours, this will automatically result in a permanent ban. Promoting your own work (websites, podcasts, artwork, etc.) is allowed as long as you don't spam the chat with it.
** Don't insult or disrespect her friends and guests. See MamaBear below.
** She ''hates'' the current direction and management of Website/ChannelAwesome and most people involved with it. She's also not fond of feminists and other social activists.
* BrooklynRage: Mostly averted (Felicia's a pretty easy-going person), though it does rear its head on occasion. See the entries under BerserkButton and UnstoppableRage.
* BuffySpeak: Chat moderator and video highlighter Bubblefish got his name from Big Fazeek's (see below) name for a puffer fish.
* ButtMonkey: Chat regular Sable gets teased a lot, but it's all in good fun. Mooders as well.
** Recent members of her honorary "Sped Sled" have been [=Wheelgirl89=], [=TimthePoutine=] and the recently opiate riddled Bluefire (who is also Felicia's editor for Until We Win).
* CatchPhrase:
** "Today we're playing (insert game here)... [[TitleDrop until we win]]."
** "You're going to die. ''A lot''."
** "The only advice I can give you is to play the ''hell'' out of this level."
** "Keep it up, and eventually..." ''*shows the game's outro*''
** "Pixel-perfect precision"
* CausticCritic: Averted and part of the reason for her popularity. She won't pretend a game is easy or doesn't have flaws, but she also focuses on how to beat them more than complaining about them.
%%* ChallengeGamer
* DamnedByFaintPraise: Her one positive of ''VideoGame/FridayThe13th''? "It's short."
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Sometimes she repeats herself, possibly from splicing together two different takes.
* DespairEventHorizon: During ''[[WebVideo/BradTries Brad Tries Durian Fruit]]'', [=LordKaT=] lamented on how Brad was stepping into her territory, and how he has his hot wife join him, and was becoming more popular, while all [=LordKat=] has is a stuffed cow. She proceeds to hang herself with an HDMI cord.
* {{Determinator}}: She will not stop until she wins. For instance, she worked on ''VideoGame/BloodwingsPumpkinheadsRevenge'' for more than half a year, only managing it and doing a video on it (with [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]], no less) after months of work.
** She actually didn't beat it -- they took the footage of a guy's [=YouTube=] page who did beat it. [=LordKat=] tried but deemed it too confusing. The guy who did it on [=YouTube=] had the game for years, and beat it only through brute force of trying absolutely everything.
** The person whose footage they used reasoned that whether or not Spoony and [=LordKat=] did play it, the video would be exactly the same.
* EmbarrassingNickname: She considers her former moniker of [=LordKat=] embarrassing.
* FanDisservice: [=LordKat=] dancing shirtless to Music/{{Erasure}}'s Always.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Her punishment for losing to 8-Bit Mickey at ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack''? A ''Spooning With Spoony'' cameo.
* FollowTheLeader: A lot of the games she beats (as she lampshades in the introductions) are requested by her fans because WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd became memorably infuriated by them. On one occasion she beat WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's own choice of worst game, ''Bebe's Kids'', and the Nostalgia Critic showed up to complain that Lordkat would make him look pathetic by beating it.
** She also beat ''VideoGame/TheAdventuresOfBayouBilly'' because it was one of [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] first videos (even calling it "Spoony's impossible game"), and tried to do ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}: Adamantium Rage'', but she confessed to [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] that after spending two days straight trying to get past it, she gave up and did an easier game.
* ForeignQueasine: The entire point of the segment "[=LordKat=] Eats". Some of the more unique delicacies sampled have included [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atji2PADdVA Bull Penis]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YwbH_OHeC8 Pig's Blood]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekW2QWnob8I Canned Haggis]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: At the end of each episode she'll usually play music from the next game to be featured.
* GameBreaker:[[invoked]] While she tends to not use game breaking methods herself, her mere presence has a tendency to reveal the GoodBadBugs and [[GameBreakingBug Game-Breaking Bugs]] throughout the game. The chat refers to this as 'breaking' the game.
* GenderBlenderName: As Felicia explains it, "[=LordKat=]" originates from the very start of her Internet "career": when she was young, she chose the screen name "Kat" because she thought it was cool, but added the "Lord" when she learned that "Kat" is a feminine name (usually short for Kathleen and such).
* GoodHairEvilHair: The official Wiki uses the Trustworthiness of Beards scale (the current page image for this trope) to rate individuals. Pre-transition, Felicia ranked a Goatee, which is the third most trustworthy.
* HeroicBSOD:
** In ''VideoGame/SilverSurfer1990'', after [[spoiler:she learns that after Hard Mode there is Second Quest]].
** A letter sent in to Dr. 8 Bit Love also had this effect, as the writer described himself and his girlfriend as "[[Franchise/FinalFantasy a Red Mage type and a White Mage type]]" respectively, and Felicia (as well as everyone in the Skype call '''and''' the live chat) struggled to figure out what the hell it meant.
* ItAmusedMe: Felicia once posted a very nasty blog attacking Let's Players and people who stream video games. Hours later, she posted on twitter that it was done deliberately to troll and see how many angry replies she'd get. She did sincerely mean the main subject of the blog though, that Bill S.978 wouldn't have any real impact if it passed and people are overreacting.
* KillItWithFire: Felicia's regular approach to playing ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' and ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2''.
** Also, her character Grae in WebVideo/SpoonysCampaign regularly used ''flaming bedrolls'' as a combat tactic.
* LetsPlay: Felicia has done a couple, including ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'' (games 2 and 3) and ''VideoGame/Portal2''.
** And the entire ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' series, Felicia being a huge fan and admitting to have used it for inspiration for Wyrmwick.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain:
** [=LordKat=] did reveal a major reason for leaving TGWTG on her livestream shortly after it happened, but refuses to bring it up in later discussions (as seen in an interview with Podcast/MoonhawkStudiosPresents) because she doesn't want people to think she's denigrating her former co-workers.
** A more recent example is when [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown Felicia was caught masturbating]] while her livestream microphone was on. Nash's reaction was hilarious.
** The 2013 [=MAGfest=] incident, where she apparently exposed and groped a drunken woman in public. (The woman wasn't angry or upset, but Felicia understandably took the accusations of assault ''very'' seriously.)
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Two words... Mr. Chappy.
* NintendoHard: The whole point of ''Until We Win''.
* OhCrap: A hilarious version that ended her Bayou Billy UWW video. When she hears the NES ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' theme song ...
-->'''Felicia''': "Oh ''God.''" (faces the camera with a slackjawed expression on her face, then the screen cuts to empty credits) "Oh, God, no." ("Next week: Battletoads" appears on the screen) "Aww, hell."
* MamaBear: Felicia is ''fiercely'' defensive of those she considers her friends. It's not unusual for her to ban people from her livestream for harassing or disrespecting her internet "family".
* PersonAsVerb: "Moodersing It", which means [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandoning your team]] in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' and failing. Related is "Final Freeking It", which means leaving your team (usually with permission) and succeeding.
* PhraseCatcher: "Fuck you [[ButtMonkey Sable]]". Sometimes with "[[http://www.Fuckyousable.com Dot Com]]" tacked on the end.
* PrecisionFStrike: Felicia likes to swear a lot, but there's one example that really stands out. The ending to ''VideoGame/TheGuardianLegend'' on the NES, a game she considered to be harder than ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' that paid off with a horribly short ending.
-->"...FUCK that ending sucked!"
* {{Ragequit}}: There's a reason Felicia calls it "[[VideoGame/Left4Dead Left 4 Mad]]", usually to do with incompetent teammates. She's actually gotten frustrated enough with the game that she's uninstalled it, only to put it back on later after cooling off.
%%* RefugeInAudacity
* {{Revival}}: "Until We Win", twice. First, some time after ending it, [=LordKat=] turned it into an open-source project, where people could make their own episodes. The second time, she turned it into a live weekly series.
** Three times, actually. She revived Until We Win true to form with ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon III: The Sacred Stones'' for NES.
* RunningGag: Starting with the ''Film/DragonballEvolution'' where LK exhibits not-so-EroticEating, her cameos in other peoples' videos tend to involve some degree of {{Squick}}. In fact, her very last contribution to TGWTG before leaving the site was a cameo in the team ''Film/TheLastAirbender'' review, where she appears at the door shirtless, holding a banana, and grinning suggestively before Y Ruler of Time slams the door in her face.
** And then immediately after Y closes the door, a sheep can be heard *bawwing* in the background; followed by a disappointed Lordkat saying *aww*
** More recently, and probably unintentional, [=LordKaT=] getting startled by Rollo_T or somebody else in the call abruptly playing the Monday Night Football theme.
* SanitySlippageSong: "Cotton-Eyed Joe", "They're Coming to Take Me Away".
* [[{{Yonkoma}} Sankoma]]: [[http://www.lordkat.com/wiki/index.php/Comicu Comicu]], by LKM artist Ginky.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Rollo T, as evidenced in many games of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' where he runs into a Tank and gets beaten.
* SelfImposedChallenge: Beating the game without using any external cheats--no UsefulNotes/GameGenie, no save states on an [[UsefulNotes/{{Emulation}} emulator]]. Built-in cheats like the KonamiCode or a WarpZone are fine.
** Well, not exactly: she realized that she needed to finish the games faster to put them up on TGWTG.
* SequelHook: Most of her videos end with a cryptic hint at what the next game will be.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Big Fazeek, formerly of PSN's ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tester The Tester]]''. He was brought on the stream when other members of the show's cast (including TGWTG's own 8-Bit Mickey) complained about how much of a jerk he was. Felicia tried to play moderator, but eventually got sick of Fazeek's egotistical bullshitting, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech told him off in epic fashion]], and banned him from the stream. Fazeek still harasses Felicia on occasion, while she (and the stream's inhabitants) mostly just ignore him or laugh at his antics.
%%* ThatOnePlayer
* UnknownRival: Big Fazeek, in a sense; going on a year after Hatedick, he still fixates on [=LordKat=], while Felicia, for her part, doesn't give a damn and only discusses him when someone else brings him up (as Nash did when he pointed out that Fazeek was trying to find him at New York Comic Con 2011).
** Somewhat acts as this to Channel Awesome. She will occasionally take a large amount of time out of the stream to rip into them for some form of incompetence (usually on the part of Mike Michaud or whoever designed the new website). Channel Awesome never fires back as this would be bad PR.
* UnstoppableRage: ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' induced this in her, and she once went off on a rant about how [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd certain people]] blame LJN for NES licensed games, when in reality they were just the marketer and many of them were in fact made by fan favourite company Rare.
* UnusualEuphemism: During a game of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'', [=RolloT=] used "Foof!" as a BattleCry (playing off of Felicia's earlier "Foom!"). Someone looked "foof" up on Website/UrbanDictionary and learned that it's a synonym for the vagina, resulting in its entering the LK Mafia's lexicon.
* AWinnerIsYou: She always segues from talking about how to beat the last boss to showing the game's ending, which is often --especially with NES games--one of these, annoying her.
* WeaponSpecialization: In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' and ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'':
** GrenadeLauncher / ThrowDownTheBomblet: When playing as the Demoman (the character class she plays as the most), Felicia uses the default grenade launcher and the Ullapool Caber (i.e., the potato masher-shaped grenade that the Demoman uses as a melee weapon). In ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'', expect Felicia to either grab a Molotov Cocktail or a Pipe Bomb and use them.
** [[FireBreathingWeapon Flamethrower]]: When playing as the Pyro, the second-most played class by Felicia.
** SniperRifle: Felicia tends to use this weapon a lot in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'', passing over most other Tier 2 weapons for this weapon. It has made for a number of awesome long-distance saves from Jockeys or hordes or whatever the game throws at him.
** Automatic Rifles: When Felicia decides to not use a sniper rifle in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' (or it doesn't spawn), she defers to either the AK-47 or the Desert Rifle. Sometimes, she uses the M16, but not often.
* WordSaladLyrics: Felicia has a habit of breaking into song on her livestream whenever the mood strikes her. Naturally, this has resulted in some rather... ''unusual'' compositions.
